OUR CROSSWORDS
Sir-Our Listener arrived at five minutes to three to-day. As the opening strains of "For Ever Young" floated out, we (mother and son) began the Crossword. We completed the solution as the closing strains of the same serial faded away-15 minutes, and withott using any aids at all. As we are not film fans, we are occasionally blocked by film ref« erences, otherwise find them pleasantly puzzling and intensely interesting. We think some of your puzzlers do protest too much and use their brains too little, Our only dictionaries are a Pocket Oxford and a Pears of ancient lineage.

SHEEPSHEADS
(Khandallah).
Sir,-My husband and I wish to add our appreciation of R.W.C.’s crossword puzzles. We have been Crossword fans for years and have had lots of fun trying to solve them and also improving our general knowledge. When The Listener comes I do the easy clues and then hand over to my husband to complete the solution. We have been "stumped" only about half-a-dozen times. We both hope the puzzles will long continue to be one of the chief features (to us) of The Listener.-TWO CROSSWORD FANS (Christchurch). (We have had a large number of letters in the same strain, but regret that we cannot find space to print them.-Ed.]
